The archaelogical site

Located in the hills above the forest of Eu, overlooking the Bresle valley, the archaeological site Bois l’Abbé was discovered by accident when a road was created across the forest at the end of the 18^th century.

Successive excavations took place during the 19^th and 20^th centuries. They allowed people to become aware of the importance of this site which was a Gallo-Roman town with its Basilica, its big sanctuary, its public squares, its houses, etc. In 2006, a dedicatory plaque was found and gave it its name: Briga.

Nowadays, excavation works take place all year round on this archaeological site. In summer, volunteers and archaeology lovers lend a strong hand to archaeologists. Guided tours are organised in July and August.
